Dobbies, the UK's leading garden centre, is announcing the return of its hugely popular Santa Paws experience in its Cirencester store, designed for dog lovers where cherished pets can meet Santa Claus at his grotto.

This paw-sitively special festive experience gives pup parents the chance to head along to Dobbies' Cirencester store and see Santa. Dogs in attendance will get to meet Mr Claus and take a photo, before receiving a special pet-friendly toy to take home and open on Christmas Day. There's also the chance to have a professional photo taken.

Santa Paws will be taking place from Saturday 2nd until Saturday 23rd December on selected days and is priced at £6.99 per dog. Attendees can save money by pre-booking photography. If families want to get everyone involved, the Santa's Grotto experience can be booked for kids, priced at £11.99 per child, with the opportunity to select a toy for the child.

Sarah Murray, who leads Dobbies' festive events plans, said:

"We absolutely love making amazing experiences, and Santa Paws really shows how dedicated we are to that. It's an occasion to celebrate the joy our pets bring into our lives, and a chance for dog owners and families to create cherished Christmas memories together at our Cirencester store.

"We look forward to sharing the magic of Christmas as families come along to Santa Paws."
